HbA1c may aid detection of abnormal glucose regulation in angiography patients; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change screening practice.
Does HbA1c screening perform better than FPG or 2hPG for detecting abnormal glucose regulation in adults undergoing coronary angiography?
HbA1c demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose for identifying undiagnosed abnormal glucose regulation in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
